If Wiggins is unable to play, it would be a major blow for Golden State.
Wiggins has a left costal cartilage fracture, Slater reported. It is unknown how or when the injury occurred.
If Wiggins is unable to play, it would be a major blow for Golden State, who won Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night to stave off elimination. Wiggins shot 10 for 18 for 25 points to go along with seven rebounds and five assists in Game 5. For the series, Wiggins is averaging 16.8 points, six rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He is also the primary defender against Lakers star LeBron James.
Golden State is trying to come back from a 3-1 series deficit against Los Angeles. A LeBron-led team has never lost a series when up 3-1. The series has gotten testy, particularly off the court, where Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has accused the Lakers of flopping. “I think we had three or four illegal screens called and that was disappointing,” Kerr told reporters after. “I didn’t get a look at the replay on any of them, but there were a couple that were very disappointing just live. But the Lakers, they’re a team that plays with a lot of gamesmanship; they understand how to generate some calls. I thought they took some flops and were rewarded. But I’ll have to see the replays.
